### 5/5 — R J Pollard

*2026-05-05, version 3.0.12*

Very informative

### 1/5 — Non-eclipse notifications again

*2026-04-03*

If you want inane notifications harassing you from 7 to 8 at night, get this thing. Cos that’s what you need hey. Notifications. For articles. Srsly tho, it defeats the purpose of an app telling when eclipses are coming when we have to turn off the notifications to avoid the harassments. It would be nice if it gave an opt-in for the non-solar/lunar eclipse articles.

**Developer response:** The vast majority of users read articles and look forward to them every day, hence the regular notifications. Eclipses occur several times a year. We'll consider adding the ability to sort notifications by type.

### 1/5 — Missleading app

*2026-01-24*

On the preview it makes it look so good different eclipses date and time but when I bought this app it’s nothing like the preview…there no option to click on or times dates or solar

**Developer response:** It seems that you didn't get how to use Eclipse Guide, but no worries! We recommend contacting our support team. You can do this directly from the application by selecting the "feedback" item in the menu. They will guide you through the app.

### 5/5 — Easy to use! Love it!

*2025-09-06, version 3.0.11*

Best eclipse guide I’ve found! Thank you!

### 1/5 — (-.-;)y-~~~

*2024-07-30*

restore出来ないのは何故？

**Developer response:** 具体的に何を復元したいのですか？追加機能について話していて、それを購入した場合は、購入時と同じ Apple アカウントを使用すると、すべてが復元されます。

### 1/5 — Don’t buy, mist add money for a map, fraudulent

*2024-04-08, version 3.0.4*

Do not buy, must add money for a map, fraudulent

### 1/5 — Spam you each day with garbage notifications

*2024-03-31*

Downloaded app for 2024 eclipse, had to enable notifications but each day they spam you with junk unrelated to the Apr 8 eclipse and no way to stop those spam push notifications. Will not buy again, made a mistake.

**Developer response:** We don't believe that astronomy-related articles is a spam, but thank you for the remark.

### 1/5 — Hidden charge

*2024-03-13, version 3.0.3*

Are you kidding?  Bought the app and after opening it asked for more money.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-03-09*

I’ve looked at many eclipse apps. This is my favorite. Reads current gps position if you are mobile. Excellent, simple simulation of eclipse. Not overly complicated like some. Fairly intuitive to use.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and the community. We are so happy that you enjoy the app )

### 1/5 — Terrible experience

*2024-02-07, version 3.0.3*

SkySafari was worth every penny over this app.  Avoid!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0.14 — 2026-08-26

A deep partial lunar eclipse is coming on August 27–28, and Eclipse Guide is ready. At maximum, 96% of the Moon’s disk will be covered by Earth’s shadow, making it look almost like a total eclipse.

We’ve refined the calculations and updated the maps so you can check the eclipse’s visibility from your location, follow every stage, and see event times accurate down to the second.

Like the update? Leave us a review. If something doesn’t look right or the app isn’t working as expected, message our support team — we read every report.

### 3.0.13 — 2026-08-10

Two eclipses are coming this August, and Eclipse Guide is getting ready for both. First up is the total solar eclipse on August 12. Then, on August 27–28, comes a partial lunar eclipse.

For the solar eclipse, every second counts. In many places, the key moments will happen just before sunset, and the viewing window may be very short. That’s why we’ve refined the calculations and updated the maps, with event times accurate down to the second.
